Hi, I have just had my left Breast off and 14 lymph nodes out. Going really well. Had my op two weeks ago today. Asking advice on when I can drive? Is there a time limit or just go on how you are r...
Kylie,
It's massive to get your head around, no matter your age, your diagnosis or treatment. It seems to come out of nowhere completely unravels your life or the life as you know it. Completely overwhelming and consuming absolutely, until you find your feet a little.
Oh yes!! I get my armpits waxed LOL but blessing of chemo was I lost every hair on my body Everywhere haha!! was a positive :)
I had my first diagnosis 2011, high grade DCIS biopsies, lumpectomy, Radiation and and Tamoxifen, then a recurrence in my scar in 2015 worst luck. Then biopsies, another major lumpectomy 4.5 months of Chemo and on Arimidex now. February due to recurrence I had a Mastectomy/Diep Flap reconstruction of left breast. So finally haha after 6yrs I am moving on. I just have a revision to do to match my boobs and then recreate a nipple. :)
Best thing I can tell you is, take a deep breath, communicate alot and one thing at a time, it will help keep you balanced. Big hugs Melinda xo
